[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] I objected to the attack on Iraq as there was no concrete justification to do so. Rumsfield says that all who object to the American policy on Iraq must therefore support terrorism, directly, or indirectly. I say, therefore I am. <small>I'm basing this on Cartman's quote, which I believe is from the article, which I can't access.</small> [QUOTE]"See how much more fun it is when you find a purpose. Having your social order shook up by totaly illogical strikes from out of no where by someone whose attitude makes no sense, Has actually made you come together. Your society has been changed. For the better. Or not."[/QUOTE]It could cut both ways. [b]*GASP* I DID IT AGAIN!!! LOOK AT ME!!! I SUPPORT TERRORISM!!! THEREFORE I MUST BE A TERRORIST!!![/b] [QUOTE]"Put it another way.. if we DO walk away from Iraq before our task of rebuilding it is complete, we ARE aiding the terrorists and the fanatics." On that we can at least agree. It's too late to pull out, anyway. Bush knew of and was warned well in advance about the consequences war would bring. He wittingly accepted those consequences from the moment US troops crossed the border. Rebuilding Iraq and restoring any semblance of order is his responsibility now. Abandoning that task would be 1) an affront to the Iraqi people, 2) disastrous for the entire region, and 3) a serious loss of face which the US can ill-afford. Besides, there's still that nagging WMD issue... [/QUOTE]Agreed. But I am somewhat torn about the idea that the U.N. should have a role in rebuilding Iraq. On the one hand, it IS the U.N.'s mandate, and it would be folly for them not to participate. On the other hand, should the U.N. play janitor to the U.S.'s messes? On the other side, some hawkish diplomats say that the U.N. should be consulted as the U.S. would appreciate the help, but other diplomats say that the U.N. is a useless rotten piece of junk and should be left that way. And then there is that nagging WMD issue. How long has it been, hmmm? Jay: We're too late. I'm heading off to the local corner store for a few sticks of dynamite and C4. Care to join me?
